As punishment for his cheeky behavior, young Nils Holgersson is shrunk to the size of a gnome. On the back of the domestic goose Martin, he travels north with the wild geese and experiences numerous adventures and some dangers.

The Aachen Symphony Orchestra and the children's choir of the Aachen Theater perform under the musical direction of choir director Jori Klomp.
